Our Buy American Mention of the Week!

If you have had trouble finding American-made luggage, briefcases, or laptop carriers like I have, you’ll want to take a look at Tough Traveler at www.ToughTraveler.com. This fine American company based in upstate New York designs and manufactures all their products in the USA, and they have been doing so since 1970.

Tough Traveler makes all kinds of bags and carriers for all kinds of purposes such as backpacks, child carriers, garment bags, hiking packs, briefcases, computer bags, duffel bags, handbags, purses, camera bags, video bags, guitar bags, and even pet products.

Whatever it is you need to carry from point A to point B, Tough Traveler has a way for you to get it there. And of course all of their products feature American-made durability, so they’re perfect for business travelers as well.

As you may have noticed, it's getting more and more difficult to locate briefcases and backpacks made in the USA. Several years ago, I bought a Jansport backpack that had "Made in USA" proudly stitched right on the front under the brand name, but that wording is long gone as well as their domestic factory and most likely hundreds of American jobs with it.
